LIGHTHOUSE POINT, Fla. – Gov. Ron DeSantis is visiting a church on Tuesday morning in northeastern Broward County to sign bills that he said will help stop human trafficking.

DeSantis was at the Coastal Community Church in Lighthouse Point, a suburb just west of Hillsboro Beach. The Christian church, at 3901 NE 22 Ave., is behind the Trinity Learning Center and the Trinity Christian School.

Attorney General Ashley Moody, Florida Sen. Kathleen Passidomo, Florida Rep. Paul Renner, and Shevaun Harris, the Florida Department of Children and Families secretary, also planned to be there.

On Monday, DeSantis visited the New College of Florida in Sarasota to sign legislation banning the use of state funding for diversity, equity, and inclusion education programs.

DeSantis also included conservative activist Christopher Rufo, of California, who is known for his nationwide initiative against critical race theory, as his New College board appointee.

Rufo, who said he lives in Seattle, praised DeSantis’s education policy, which has restricted education on race and LGBTQ issues, as “once-in-a-generation reforms.”

This is a developing story.
